Random Thoughts
By Drew
-The Standard goes off for his fourth triple-double of the season, the Lakers and Spurs go head to head in an intense, well-played shootout to go along with a handful of other great NBA games. I can’t wait for the lead story on Sportscenter to be about the AFC/NFC Championship games, Pacman Jones, Plaxico Burress’s court trial or the Dodgers signing Derek Lowe.
-Speaking of the NFL, who even cares about the conference championship games, let alone the Super Bowl at this point? Nothing but duds aside from the Steelers while we’re in the heat of an amazing season where records are being broke every night and even mediocre teams are entertaining to watch, along with a college season being absolutely dominated by the Big East. Play’s not that good a quality most times but the rivalries are fun and it’s always good to do some March Madness research (it is a religious holiday). Don’t take my word for it (I usually don’t get behind the Big East) in the tourney but this year, they could easily make up half the sweet sixteen.
-Lakers-Spurs: amazing game, particularly a gritty Lakers comeback in the fourth, but who the hell do you even root for in a game where you vehemently despise both teams? You root for God to bring on a natural disaster, that’s what. It’s like when someone asks who I want to win Duke-UNC, I tell them I’d like it if Gary Williams strafed both teams with an AK-47. Go Terps!
-The Quad-Laser, er, Double, I mean. I know I’m spoiled and all with The Standard and King James going off for double-doubles on the regular (and don’t forget D-Ho) along with the occasional triple-double but Chris was three steals away from the elusive Quadruple-Double tonight and the way Lebron is piling up blocks along with everything else this season, we could someday be telling our young ones about Lebron’s Quintuple-Double. Unlikely but hey, a kid can dream.
-Spurs just won, continually proving the point that no matter how boring they are and how bad you want them to be, NEVER EVER EVER count San Antonio out, especially if Parker and Ginobli are injured early in the season cus that’ll just make them better when they come back!!! There’s your reason to root for the Celtics to make it to the Finals because if the Spurs make it through the West with their combination of finesse, cheating, flopping, whining to the refs and y’know being really, really good, the Celts are the best team to handle that onslaught, plus it could result in Garnett killing Duncan in cold blood after he hits his first three of year in overtime. That’s worth the price of admission!
-I’d like to feel happy for the NotSeattles getting a couple of wins lately but really, you don’t even deserve the bad team that you have, I can’t wait for Kevin Durant to leave and sign with a contender or join the new Sonics (formerly the Charlotte Bobcats or Memphis Grizzlies) out of spite. I’ve never even been to Seattle, I just have standards!

the quintuple-double would be the first in nba history
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadruple-double#Quintuple-double
Doesn't the NFL's popularity prove how stupid our country is? It's mostly built around overweight morons getting drunker and fatter in a freezing cold parking lot, most of whom could hardly name more than five players on their team of choice.
